While going through the Form 15CA as applicable from 01.10.2010 we noticed the following problem which remitter / Deductors may face :-

Revised Form 15CA is as applicable from 01.10.2013 is Available only for the Payments related to A.Y. 2012-13 and 2013-14. So what if Assessee has to make the payment for current Assessment year i.e. 2014-15?

Department has vide Notification 67/2013 dated 02/09/2013has only provided that Form 15CA should be filed electronically but it has nowhere provided that the same should also be signed digitally but for fill up of Form 15CA on e-filing portal deductor must have digital signature. Many of the deductor who were unaware of this were surprised to note the same.

As department has made only online version of From 15CA available and offline version is not yet available, so Remitter/ Deductor who needs to file 100s of Form 15CA will file it difficult to fill the form 15CA as now only one person can fill the form 15CA for one Remitter at one time.

Department has not yet issued any Guidance note or help file clarifying the revised procedure for Filing of Form 15CA on e-filing portal.

The new form 15CA is not yet availabe at tin-nsdl.com. So thers is no question of any issue in filling up the form. We have been using the existing form which is available. Though we have started taking CA certificate in the new format published as per the notification. Confusion on availability of new form 15CA continues..

There is alawys confusion that what type of payments required 15CA/15CB, Is it required for every import payment. Some banks ask for 15CA/15CB but others are not. It is mandatory to submit 15CA/15CB electronicaly for payment against import of stock?

1) there is no need to select any AY option. dont know how this is cited as a error/problem. also when fill form 15CA & mention proposed date for payment as current or future date how come issue of Prev AY raise ?

2) Reality is the form is not as per the updated form 15CA as per 5/8/2013 notification. – bcas Part B of the form 15CA is option to make declaration for
” if the payment is not chargeable to tax and is of the nature specified in column (3) of the specified list ;”
so the form is not updated yet even in IT Efile site

The main practical problem associated with insisting the signature of person authorised to sign the Return of income u/s 140 for submission of Form 15CA particularly in the case of big organisation having variuous bill passing sections having separate TAN No. is that getting the signature of CEO of the organisation on ‘n’ number of forms is very difficult task and that too using the digital signature under the new form is practically a difficult task. Therefore, it is advisable to introduce necessary changes in the Form 15CA to that effect that the person responsible in respect of a particual TAN under TRACES portal shall be empowered to sign the Form -15CA.

Error of selection of assessment doesn’t arise when we use latest Internet Explorer. Further, if we use google chrome, and when we select Part A or Part B, only relevant portion is activated. However, in Internet Explorer, both Part A and Part B are activated irrespective of our selection. There are some software glitches in system which are causing these errors.
